With the popularization of anime and manga the term
otaku became well-known around the world. But are japanese otakus different from
western otakus? How do they go in a love relationship? You may find the answers
watching the Japanese drama called 電車男 (Densha Otoko), translated as Train Man.
The drama follows the story of a 23 year-old otaku
called Yamada Tsuyoshi after he rescued a beautiful woman from a drunken man on
a train. They eventually end up exchanging their phone numbers and Yamada
finally decides to invite Saori, the rescued woman, to go out on a date. But as
Yamada does not know anything about dating, he decides to look for some advice
on an internet forum. The forum advices became Yamada’s main guide to be in a
relationship with a woman that couldn’t be more different from him. The story
also became a movie, novel and a manga.
This comedy/romance tv series has some hilarious
moments and, as in most of Japanese dramas, it has some overly dramatic moments
too. But the drama will make you laugh
so much that you will forgive the embarrassing moments.
Densha Otoko drama has 11 episodes and is supposedly based
on a true story.
